out in the world. (lpleUlllthS
were great and many rnude greet suc
cess. Sonic failed, and others made
medium men of business. Another
generation, lured hy the grand suc‘
mess of statesmen like Lincoln and
Douglas. manufacturers like McCor
mick and Studebaker, railroad hulld
ers like Sanford and Crocker, made
haste to leave the farm and seek the
city to do, they cared not what, so
that it was out of the drudgery from
four o‘clock in the morning till eight
at night. Opportunities lessened
and seekers increased till we have
the overcrowded cities throwing-up
by the shear weight of respectability,
the dregs of the mass, the failures in
life led by demagogues necking their
own ends. We have the cry for
work at any price. We have the
tramp and the criminal class.
Though these are led and taught
hv inbred crime from the old world.
Nearly all of American pauperism
and criminality may be traced to mis
takes on the farm. It is the farmers
boys that swell the ranks of foreign
clamorers for bread from the State.
Who can blame them? or speak
harshly to one who left horns with
high hopes and pure intentions, if,
after battling with successive fail
ures. he has lost courage, hope and
strength, and turns to rail at capital? ‘
The remedy lies deeper than tell
ing these to go back at work on the
farm, scolding them as adventurers,
or, ifone turns‘hook agent or peddler,
calling him “bilk” and “tramp.”
We must go back to our farm houses
and make them homes, the seat of
culture, refinement, joy and peace.
We must fill them with books and
tlpel‘l, with pictures and music.
lm ed machinery gives us power,
sum must shorten the hours of la
bor. We must stop making the
boys wear boots two or three sizes
too large, stop calling them “ dand
ies” if they use the blacking brush
and like to wear a and coat. We
must do away with shoddy, ill-fitting
garments, and patronize the tailor.
In fact, make our boys the peers in
appearance of their inferiors in
thought. It will cost too much!
What if _it does lessen the amount of
money we annually “ put out at in
terest ?” It will esp the boys at
home, make them happy and con
tented. The ownership of land is a
kingly estate. The farmer and the
farmer’s son are the mOst inds end
ent men on earth. Then why should
the farmer’s son he made to feel that
he is of an inferior race, doomed to
an inferior calling, when he comes in
contact with the followers of other
Ephesians? There is no reason.
0 bricklayer, the mouldsr, the mer
chant, all adhesion in the towns,
throw 05 t 'r workin clothes and
mingle with any assemliiy unmarked;
but it is reserved for the farmer’s
boy to show his callin at every cor
ner by the out of his cfiflh. *
As said before, the remedy for the
overcrowded condition of our cities
is in a radical change in treatment of
the farraer’s boys. They must be
made to feel proud of themselves
and their homes. They must have
hours for recreation as well as labor.
The old saying of the farmer’s wife
who wished it would rain nights and
Sundays “so the boys could rest” is
too near real on many farms. Many
boys have left home who would not
have thought of it, if there had been
a time for recreation except when it
rained to hard to work “ out doors or
set fence postg—“ Land Register.”

Already this season over 10,000
head have been driven East of thei
Rocky Mountains principally into
Wyoming. When transportation by
the great Northern Road is atforded
these plains will in a great measure
furnish Eastern Markets. The rep
utation of Walla Walla horses, their
cheapneas in the valley, their high
price ahroad as racers, rosdstera and
dtaft horses are already well-known.
Sheep succeed throughout the Ter
ritory—better in the East. Inferior
breeds average 5 lbs of wool per an
num, the finer stock producing- as
good returns as in the most favored
localities. Our wool having general
ly been sent to California or Oregon,
has lost its identity—but those
markets have been increased by our
contribution in the last 15 years, at
least 05,000,000. There is but one
woolen manufactory in the Territory,
successfully o erated at Dayton, in
the Walls Walia Valley. Our mut
